Chauncey Lewis, the Boy Soldier.
A 1> >v of fifteen years of ago was standing
before tho open do >r of n Connecticut farmhouso
with a little fowling pieeo upon his
shoulder. while a matronly looking woman
was stamling in the doorway and gazing with
111 listened eves upon him.
" G ?, ?i> v son,"'she said, "hut remember,
when amid * he smoke and heat of battle, the
sonteiioo in the blessed btok I have given
you. "the merciful shall obtain inorcy."
" I will not forget it, mother," lie replied,
"hut our company is waiting, ami now farewell
!"
" Good bye, my son"?she kisscil him a?
*he spoke?"'an?l may lie who has for two
peore years watched over the mother, protect
the Son !"
A cloud of smoke hung over and em eloped
the blood stained soil of Bunker's Hill. A
noble looking man, in the uniform of an
American general was slowly retreating with
his face to the f ie. The sharp report of a
single rillo was heard, and Warren fell!?
A young soldier?almost a boy?sprang towards
him and lifted his head ; at the same
instant a giant grenadier in the British uniform.
caiuo charging at him with leveled
bavonot.
To draw an old rusty horse pistol from hi>
breast, present ami tiro it. at the approach
ing foe, was lint the work r?f a moment. Tlx
grenadier fell, wounded, an I seizing th<
h word of Warren which h?ul fallen from hi;
grasp, the boy-soldier ran and raised it ovei
the redcoat to dispatch him.
Jint why docs ho pause when the sword i:
uplifted, and allow it to fall slowly to hi;
bide, and then turn a*.vny and strike not?
lie remembers the injunction of that moth
or, whom two months ago he left in the opei
door of the form house, "Remember, my son
amid the smoke and heat of battle. "The nu r
ciful shall obtain mercy.'"
The tide of battle had swept like n whirl
wind over the plains of Trenton. The licit
itdi eavajry had ridden with irresistable f?re<
over a detachment of mon and hoys, forming
a portion of the left wing of tlie Amerioar
army, and among the dead and d^ing. lay :
boyish soldier wounded, and with his righl
iirm broken.
A merciless party of Hessians, were rang
jngovcr the lield murdering and plundering
those who had fallen. They approached the
boy-soldier. who dauntlessl v awaited tlie inv
pending death, and one of them drawing hi.*
sword was about to plunge it into tho hoy';
Bide, when a gigantic red-coated gronadioi
rushed between tlie boy and the murderous
Hessian and struck up the weapon.
' II tld, rutTi uis ! That boy spared my lift
at Hunker Hill, It is now my turn." an<
raising him in his strong arms, ho bore bin
from the bloody soil to ft place of safety.

The Legislature of South Carolina and
r Hew York.
The f/Cgi.ilaturw. which is now in session
here. presents soma striking contrasts with
the Legislature ot' the State of Now York.
Incredible as it may Feeni to tho Weed, Mat(
to son, and other lobby men, there is actually
it Siate Legislature meet'ng daily in this city
I without n " third house," or a singlo lobbyman
within the lioundarios of the capital.?
Nay, more: a United States Senator is about
to be elected, and not ti wire is pulled.to in(
Huouce votes?not n single nose is poked into
the ear of senator or representative to win
him over to "our candidate."

the houses hero illflbrs materially fVom the
method in Now York. The presidents of the
two bodies ivo sceo dressed in purple gowns,
i lined and tr,t.with velvet of the mine
odor, and wltii . ut gloves on their hauls,
while the olerks wear HOwing ?Hk robes, after
the fashion of Knglislt burristo;'8; The
members observe but little order, walking
lib >ut and conversing while business is going
<>n. and only seutcd an I silent from couite.sy
during a debate. The las ion, too, of wearing
the bat during the session?visitors only an
required to bo uncovered?gives the bouses a
row lyish appearance, very similar to our
own legislu'ivo linllx during a recess.
The presiding otti.-ers ot both h-nit-ei are
dignified and able men, and conduct the
' business, in the midst of thi> Contusion,
promptly ami correctly. Very rarely indeed,
i < a point of order raised: and should a recent

s;oal nothing, either from the State or from 1

fcrcnt to her C nnnanions, nevertheless ; and 1
like nil true women, in such a condition, s ic ,

i and felt that slio was "full tag*." She was, J

story getting abroad at (Jharlcf ton, kohio la- ?
" dies requested and obtained p..i nission for J
hci to visit then). A loose dress was accordingly
furnishod Iter to cover her other dolicienc
e< of the article of clothing, and she was
landed front one oi'the boats and conveyed
leston. There, {lio servant was ordered to j
dro>s the Queen in hoops, broad onough for a !
dame of upper-tendom, and a flaunting, gay j
dress. She was much astonished and plea*- i
oil with the dross, hut more with the hoops. I
which she would endeavor to catch as slie tur- !
nod round and round, uttering outlandish |
| cries. She also exhibited some inclination :
constantly to examine more closely into tho j
material beaeath her outerdress, hut a? gen- i
tlemcn were present, she was prudently pre- \
I vented from gratifying this natural curiosity. |
I After speudiittr some hours ashore, she was i
conveyed to the beach l>y a number of her
entertainers.
The bout could not roach high water mark,
and lay some little di*tanc? out in tho water.
The Ci.iccu shook hands all around with her
friends, and then going to the water's edgo,
j surveyed the bout fur an instant, n:id after
waving a last adieu, suddenly hoisted dress
1 lioops, underclothes and nil, like a huge sua

by:
" book ! look 1" said a half dor.eu lady voicos
one pretty night, as we sat leaning ngainSt
the outside of the ball-room. Wo did
look?ala?! for our poor modesty, v.c ought
not to have done so. If my ehildren were
among them, I'd whip them well for it. Yes
il tliey wero full grown, I'd give tlioiu the
hickory." So said tho wifo of ono of our
prinees, as she turned away in utter disgust.
Doctor, lot mo describe a little?if tho pul>Iio
may look, certainly it may road. though
it run. A group of the nplcniliit olios is on
the lloor, ami lovingly mated. The gents encircle
their partners' waists with one arm.
The ladies and gentlemen stand closely faoo
to faee. The gents arc very erect, and luan
a littlo back. The ladies lean a little forward.
(Music.) Now, nil wheel ?nd whirl,
circle and curl. Feet and heels of gents go
rip-rap, rip-rap-rip. Ladies' feet go tipitytip,
tipity-tip-tip. Then all go rippity. clippity,
t'ppity, bippity, skippity, Imppity. juinpity,
bnmpity. tlmmp. Ladies fly oil" by ceittriiugal
momentum. Geuts puli Indie, hard
and close. They icel, swing, slide, sling,
look tender, look silly, loi>k dizzy. Feet 11 v,
tresses fly, hoops fly, dresses fly, all fly. It
looks tuggity, luiggity. pullity, squoezity,
pressity, rubbilV. rip. The men look like a
cross between steelyards and "liml.o;- jacks,"
beetles and jointed X's. The maidens tuck
down their china vcrav low, or raise them exceedingly
high. Some smile, s une grin,
some giggle, ?omo frown, sumo pout, some
sneer, and nil sweat freely. The Indies' faces
arc brought ngninst those of the men, or
into their bosoms; breast against breast, nose
against nose, and toes against, toes. Now
they go again, making a sound like Ueorgnyporgey,
dere)-peerey, ridey-pidey, coocheypoaches*.

writer says : " There is no established stun- J

he was a stout; buoyant, manly youth. lie
was from the State of Maine, and had been

by yellow fever, and soon died, with no

or to soothe him with that sympathy which

" I and 'IVisrncli put up nt tlie same tavern
